Fundamental Price Study: Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB)
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
We look at Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) [Trend Analysis] a company in the specialty chemicals industry currently at the attention of investors, to assess if it provides value for investors considering buying or selling it. Currently Albemarle Corporation is trading at $51.88 after moving up 3.80% in the previous day of trading.
ALB is trading with a trailing 12 month P/E multiple of 37.65 and an estimated forward P/E multiple of 13.20. The stock has an estimated 5 year annual growth of 4.74% and a PEG multiple of 7.94.
Rather than the usual Price to Earnings (P/E) multiple method, we use a slightly different method to assess if Albemarle Corporation is potentially a value buy for investors, the PEG ratio (P/E to growth). This PEG multiple takes into account the expected long term growth in earnings of the company rather than merely the growth for one earnings period ahead as forward P/E does.
That is to say, P/E simply doesn’t account for the long term prospects of ALB. As a rule of thumb, a stock with a PEG of between 0 and 1 is usually considered to be underpriced, between 1 and 2 to be at fair value and over 2 to be overpriced. Based on the PEG ratio of ALB being 7.94, we consider Albemarle Corporation to likely be overpriced.
This analysis means that value buyers who do not currently hold Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) should not consider buying and investors currently holding the stock should consider selling.
The mean analyst 12 month target price for Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) is currently $61.56 or 18.66% above the current price. Additionally, the stock has been as high as $64.99 and as low as $41.37 in the last 52 weeks. Analysts are estimating that ALB will report earnings per share of $0.89 next quarter.

Dividend Perspectives: Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC)
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
We assess Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), [Trend Analysis] a dividend paying company in the banking industry to determine if it is a healthy dividend paying stock that investors should consider as a solid income generating addition to their portfolios or not. Wells Fargo is currently priced at $48.26 after moving up 1.26% in the previous day of trading.
WFC is currently paying an annualized dividend of $1.50 per share, translating to a dividend yield of approximately 3.06%. Generally we would consider a stock paying a dividend greater than 80% of its earnings to be risky.
This is due to the possibility that they will be unable to afford to pay the dividend in the future due to having no reserves and also not having cash reserves available for emergencies. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) currently has a dividend pay out ratio of 35.20%, therefore we consider WFC’s dividend to be relatively safe, in this respect.
The next assessment we perform is by determining the quick ratio of WFC. The quick ratio tells us if a company will be able to cover all of its current liabilities with liquid assets on hand. As a rule of thumb a number of 1.0 or better indicates this is likely, meaning the stock’s dividend is less risky. Wells Fargo currently has a quick ratio of 0.00, meaning it is in a potentially risky position.
Finally we look at the estimated earnings growth for Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) over the coming 5 years. Generally if earnings are predicted to continue to grow, one can expect there to be continued earnings from which to pay dividends.
Wells Fargo has an estimated annual growth over the next 5 years of 9.59%. This means that it would appear WFC should be able to maintain and grow their dividend.
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) made their last dividend payment on Jan-15 and went ex-dividend on Apr-15.

Fundamental Study: Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG)
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
We look at Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) [Trend Analysis] a company in the restaurants industry currently at the attention of investors, to assess if it provides value for investors considering buying or selling it. Currently Chipotle Mexican Grill is trading at $442.17 after moving down -1.91% in the previous day of trading.
CMG is trading with a trailing 12 month P/E multiple of 26.38 and an estimated forward P/E multiple of 34.21. The stock has an estimated 5 year annual growth of 14.34% and a PEG multiple of 1.84.
Rather than the usual Price to Earnings (P/E) multiple method, we use a slightly different method to assess if Chipotle Mexican Grill is potentially a value buy for investors, the PEG ratio (P/E to growth). This PEG multiple takes into account the expected long term growth in earnings of the company rather than merely the growth for one earnings period ahead as forward P/E does.
That is to say, P/E simply doesn’t account for the long term prospects of CMG. As a rule of thumb, a stock with a PEG of between 0 and 1 is usually considered to be underpriced, between 1 and 2 to be at fair value and over 2 to be overpriced. Based on the PEG ratio of CMG being 1.84, we consider Chipotle Mexican Grill to likely be priced at fair value.
This analysis means that value buyers who do not currently hold Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) should probably look for better value alternatives and investors currently holding the stock should either continue to hold or sell and look for alternatives.
The mean analyst 12 month target price for Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) is currently $479.52 or 8.45% above the current price. Additionally, the stock has been as high as $758.61 and as low as $399.14 in the last 52 weeks. Analysts are estimating that CMG will report earnings per share of $2.16 next quarter.
